Proven oil reserves are those quantities of petroleum which, by analysis of geological and engineering data, can be estimated, with a high degree of confidence, to be commercially recoverable from a given date forward from known reservoirs and under current economic conditions.
Oil and gas reserves denote discovered quantities of crude oil and natural gas (oil or gas fields) that can be profitably produced/recovered from an approved development. Oil and gas reserves tied to approved operational plans filed on the day of reserves reporting are also sensitive to fluctuating global market pricing.
Another facility holding 20 days of consumption was completed in 2008. Poland also requires oil companies to maintain reserves sufficient to provide 73 days of consumption. [57] Portugal has an SPR with an approximate size of 22,440,000 barrels (3,568,000 m 3). [58] Slovakia has an SPR with an approximate size of 748,000 barrels (118,900 m 3). [45]
Proven reserves (also called measured reserves, 1P, and reserves) is a measure of fossil fuel energy reserves, such as oil and gas reserves and coal reserves. It is defined as the "quantity of energy sources estimated with reasonable certainty, from the analysis of geologic and engineering data, to be recoverable from well established or known ...
By default countries are ranked by their total proven oil reserves. Note that data related to one parameter may be more up to date than data related to some other. See also separate lists and their source pages: List of countries by proven oil reserves [1] List of countries by oil production [2] List of countries by oil consumption [3]

The primary purpose of the reserve, the world’s largest supply of emergency oil, is to reduce the impact of supply chain disruptions and to fulfill America’s international energy obligations ...
Countries by natural gas proven reserves (2014), based on data from The World Factbook. Natural gas is a widely available fossil fuel with estimated 850 000 km 3 in recoverable reserves and at least that much more using enhanced methods to release shale gas. Improvements in technology and wide exploration led to a major increase in recoverable ...
